Congrats are in order for Tbone and Sofya!

Tbone will co-writing a perfume guide book with Luca Turin. It will review 1,200 fragrances. From the masterpieces like Mitsouko to the truly horrible ones from Paris Hilton.I am excited because Tbone is a one of my favorite people on the planet and is also one of the best reviewers on MUA. Plus this is the gal that can rock red lips, do Kung Fu fan dances and introduced me to Jolie Madame.I adore her.

The second person that I adore is dear Victoria.A few weeks ago cavewoman pointed out that V was the person responsible for the lovely descriptions in the latest Aedes catalog.Years ago when I first visited NYC with my perfume gang we stopped by the Aedes store. We were chatting with the owner when he stopped and said to us..."Have you met Victoria yet?"We responded that we had not had the pleasure yet.He proceeded to go into a trance about how magnificent she was.He is fairly magnificent so this was very high praise.Years later I met her in NYC with tbone.She was everything Robert at Aedes said and more.Besides being magnificent she is stunning, charming and generous.I adored her within a span of five minutes.

Thanks, Annie! I guarantee this book will be worth reading. I foresee that you will like it so much that when someone asks to borrow it, nay, you would sooner buy this impertinent wretch her own copy than part with your own for a day, and yea, you and your readers in fact will buy many copies for your friends and relatives, for birthdays and holidays both major and minor, so as to explain to them the magic and lure of perfume, and so TBone shall perhaps receive a royalty check that would mean freedom to write another book. For lo, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of overextended credit, I know earning potential art with me.

Moreover, thank you so much for this! I am very touched to read this post (belatedly, but I have an excuse, since I was away!) I adored you from the moment I saw you and inhaled 2000 et Une Rose on the sleeve of your coat. By the way, I recently had a chance to meet the creator of this perfume (Christine Nagel), and I thanked her for creating it on behalf of you as well.
